So I report in for surgery in 8 hours.  This is by far the most scared I have ever been. I can’t really express myself more than that.  I want to tell my husband Jim, I love you.  You are my soulmate and I hope to have many mote great years with you. To Jeremy, I love you so much, I can’t wait to see the man you turn out to be.  To my mom and dad, I love you and are so thankful for your commitment to each other and your family. To my brother, my friend I love you and can’t wait to see fireworks in Cincy with you. To my In-Laws, I love you and thank you for accepting me into your family. There are so many people that I want to say I love you to before I go under the knife.    Please know I am writing this for you.

A little setback, but lesson learned.

Well i didn't make it to the swim meet today, It was a little too warm to sit outside that long.  Boys are going to karate tonight and I will tagged along to say hey, but exerted myself a little too much at the end standing and talking.  Wound up at the ER after I passed out. I felt it happening so I was able to sit down on the ground and not fall over.  Dr orders more fluids and taking it easier.  They did do a CT scan of my head to make sure all was good and X-ray of my chest.  Today is just watching all my efforts.  I totally forgot that those 960 steps the other day was from when Jim brought the watch from the hotel room.  So I’m using the “move calorie goal”. Today I’m just looking at 160 calories.to burn.

So I am 2 days out of surgery,  I had a bit of a wig out coming out of anesthesia, some hallucinations. Surgery lasted from 9:30- 6:45.  I spent the first night and most of yesterday in ICU due to lack of step down beds.  My hearing was preserved, I have a little facial weakness but it should clear in a week or two.ive been up walking with PT and they say they are clearing me today! I’m still waiting to be cleared from the docs but all is going better than expected,

Reflections and Looking Forward

So 2019 was one for the record books.  All my readers know about my brain tumor diagnosis and subsequent brain surgery to remove said tumor.  I've been trying to be open and honest about all challenges I face and how I am facing them, however I did not post that in May of 2019 I was also disgnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.  I immediately went on Metformin and changed my diet - almost keto and I was doing really well until surgery.  Post surgery I started eating like old Randi and have continued to through today.  I was being hopeful that the tumor removal might effect my a1c but alas it has not.  (There is some science behind this) So now I will start tracking my carbs again (myfitnesspal) and back to regular exercise. I learned a lot about myself in this last year and I really hope to continue my personal growth as a wife, mother, genealogist, library worker, volunteer and chodan.  By next year I should be getting ready to test for EeDan (2nd degree bla...
